with regards to the original poster's problem, which seems real.

if seems that there are at least 3 phillip lim bags. if we pull the search out from the description we can see them here:

http://hgbagsonline.com/cart/index.p...keyword=pashli

however, if we search for phillip, only 1 of them shows up:

http://hgbagsonline.com/cart/index.p...eyword=phillip

which suggests to me that somehow something "might" be wrong in how the product name is stored in the DB; although i could be wrong.

i have rarely found these problems to be associated with the template....

if i wanted to find the root of the problem, i would look at the ../includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result/header.php file. at the bottom of the file, these is a variable called $listing_sql. i would put a break there (on a test server) prior to the $zco_notifier statement, and find out what that variable contains ("die($listing_sql);" would work). i would then run that sql statement on your DB. from that statement, you can find why your searching might be going wrong.

hope that helps. good luck.
